Fuji||||||||||Ta – MMM

For his album MMM, Japanese composer and sound artist Yosuke Fujita uses an electric pump to breathe life into his homemade pipe organ. What might seem like a technical gimmick actually gives his music more room to breathe, literally, and takes it in a new direction. At over 21 minutes, “M-1” is the heart of the album, a gently droning mantra and vehicle for microscopic shifts in timbre that give the instrument undreamed-of rhythmic possibilities.
